18,000 steps/day

Training Q&A [Moderated]

I know the whole 10,000 steps per day is an arbitrary number right?

I just got a walking pad for my office at work. So now instead of sitting an hour and just standing an hour I walk for that standing hour. I get 4 1hr walks per day Mon-Fri. I just got a step counter that says I’m getting about 18,000 steps in those 4hrs.

Is there any concern with that being too much? Especially my recent addition of jogging/running 35 min on Tuesday and 45 min on Saturdays?

Nope, this is great!

@Austin_Baraki thanks.

Follow up question. Would doing this many steps/day plus extending my Conditioning Day 2 on Body Building 1 Gen2 3-Day version from 20min to 50min make up for skipping the added 5th day in Block 2? The 4 day conditioning schedule separate from my 3 lifting days per week works best for me.

I think that’s reasonable, especially if it makes things more sustainable for you overall.
